Quote by Judd Gregg
At least Obama was half-way honest about how much he was going to spend on health care. He had it at $600 billion. And the real number... is $1.2 trillion.
Summary
This quote appears to highlight the belief that former President Obama underestimated the cost of healthcare reform. The speaker emphasizes that Obama initially stated the expenditure for healthcare reform would be $600 billion, implying a level of honesty. However, the quote asserts that the actual cost, $1.2 trillion, doubles the initial estimate. The language used suggests criticism towards Obama, implying he was not entirely forthcoming about the true cost of the reform.
